I was asleep when my mom ran in to wake me up. Turned on the TV. Thought it was a terrible accident at first. Then we saw the second plane hit live and that's when the day just got really strange.

They'll fly out tomorrow afternoon for the game, ya? I wondered if they would travel same day since it's a 45 minute flight but that's probably not how they do it. Pretty sure I saw Jordan Phillips at the Target, that's why the travel question came up because I was like, "They fly out on Saturdays for away games, oh no, did they forget him?!" Then my brain reverted out of dummy mode and said oh right, they'll travel tomorrow.

In other news, noted couch potato but also supreme football wizard blacklabel was quoted today as saying, "Yeah, I'm gonna watch the game and stuff my face with Cheetos. I hate Breece Hall." More at 11.

Wyatt Teller is kind of a unicorn situation. He played DL thru high school and only switched to OL in like his junior year of college. He was still coming along and developing and learning the position. I guess they must've figured other guys on the roster were ahead of him. It's all hindsight now. Does he turn into an All Pro with the Bills or does Cleveland's scheme just suit him better? I dunno. I doubt Boogie goes off for some epic All Pro season. He's likely a depth guy no matter what team he's on. Can't wait for more posts like these during the season. Isaiah Hodgins makes a five yard catch: Beane is the worst! Boogie tackles a guy after a ten yard gain: Beane messed up! Waived draft pick Nick Broeker starts a game in Houston: it's Teller Part Two and Beane is still the worst!

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds.

Shooooosh!! Shoosh please. A-thank yoouuu!

Is the practice squad put together later today? Has to be after all the waivers clear, right?

Morons. I went to the 2013 home opener and before the frickin' game even started some doofus in the row behind us thought another dude was looking at his snaggletoofed lady friend and started a fight over it. Spilled their beer everywhere. I'll never understand how it's supposed to be fun to get absolutely schnittfaced before 1p and then stumble your drunken behind into a stadium where you're passing out before the opening kick. Dummies.

He looks like the real deal. I typically try to temper my expectations but that dude gets me psyched. I really get this feeling that he's gonna be like a top five at his position within a couple years. Aside from that, the penalties were pretty irritating. For as much as ol' McD preaches discipline and fundamentals his teams tend to get flagged a lot. I guess I'd like to assume that they went the "vanilla" route with things and didn't want to put any of their fancy schmancy stuff on tape. Penalties killed a decent drive and wiped out that 35 yard zinger to Gabe. Bah. Anywho, as a total professional foosball coach my advice to them would be: stop breakin' the rules, @**holes!

I believe a wise man known as Yoda once said, "A poop I do not give."

After watching him today he's definitely an intriguing player. Has the arm and the athleticism. I guess it'll probably hinge on whether or not he can grasp the mental aspects and have the game slow down for him. Definitely can see why teams were interested.

Tommy Doyle got rolled up on during his first series. He finished the drive but did not return after that.

I never really understood the whole "this is how we do it, adapt or hit the bricks" approach. I always figured it was ideal to coach to the strengths of your players. Seems pretty straightforward.

I like to babble about the Bills. Also, they shut down the official Bills forum back in 2017, which led to quite an uptick in new members for this place.

D'awww, just the worst!

Man, every year I'm still somehow amazed at how bunched up the panties become on some posters over things like drops or off-target throws or whiffed blocks. "I'm concerned!" "Seeing this really makes me scared!" Of what?! This stuff is supposed to be fun. Ideally I'm sure they'd love for everything to go perfectly every time, that's just not reality. If you're gonna have drops and miscues, practice is the place for it.

John Wawrow sound like big dummy. I never really thought the situation was that serious to begin with. Diggs is known to be an emotional guy and he was fired up over a bad loss. Stuff happens. Kinda also just this day and age of instant information where things said get magnified and overanalyzed.

I think I'll check it out eventually but I dunno if they could've picked three less appealing QBs, at least IMO. Mahomes has the media hangin' off his danglebag all season since 2018. It gets old hearing about the guy nonstop. Mariota seems like a nice dude but I almost forgot he's still in the league. Lastly there's Kirk... stinky, doofus-faced, rat-nosed, total weenie Kurt. I've kinda always caught jerkface vibes from that dude. He seems like a nice guy on the surface but make no mistake, this man is making lampshades out of human skin in his storage shed in his downtime. There's just something about him. That and I once saw him scream at and the shove a volunteer referee for a charity flag football game Kurk was playing in. Have I let that one incident shape my entire opinion of Kurd? I sure have. But also....he's just a weenie.

Watching that highlight video reminded me of my favorite Cook play from last year. The second regular season Miami game, that TD pass right before the half. Went thru a bunch of emotions on that play. It was like, "Okay, if it isn't there just throw it away and take three... *Josh begins to scramble* c'mon man you're almost outta time, get rid of it! *clock expires* Crap, clock ran out, now they can't even get three. *Josh zips it to Cook for the TD* Well hey look at that!" They were wizards at scoring just before the half last season.

Well yeah, they even let him pour his own dranks.

Yeah this here makes a lot of sense. The player wants guaranteed money but can't guarantee he'll be able to fulfill the entire length of his contract.

It's been rumored for a while now that they were planning on doing the 90s throwbacks. I'm down for it. I like the current kits they have the most but mixing it up is fun too.

It was a bummer. I kept waiting for the spark but it never came around. The infinite Bengals third down conversions were met with a lot of *siiiigh* "They just look like they're completely outta gas today." Just the worst time to have their worst game.

He called me a doodiehead. I had no choice but to retaliate with the heavy artillery. I called him a poopface.

Nuh uh! He played 36 quarters! So...math.
